Driving digital at Baylor College of Medicine. I'm shaping the country's first longitudinal curriculum on digital professionalism and literacy for medical students.
Present in the health blogosphere since 2006, I've been an active witness to the social health revolution and its influence on doctors and patients. On my blog, 33 charts, I explore the edges of medicine and its intersection with technology and culture.
One of my most recent projects is the co-creation of The Medical Futures Laboratory, a Rice University based collaborative for insight and solutions into the problems facing medicine at its intersection with technology.
By day I care for sick babies. I'm a pediatric gastroenterologist and do my work at Texas Children's Hospital, America's largest children's hospital. Before the internet I cut my teeth in pulp writing for magazines such as American Baby and Parenting. In 2007 I published Colic Solved – The Essential Guide to Infant Reflux and the Care of Your Crying, Difficult-to-Soothe Baby (Ballantine/Random House 2007). I have most recently served as a consultant to companies such as Gerber and Playtex on issues related to media communication.
You can find me quoted in outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and CNN. I have offered commentary on doctors and technology on programs such as CBS This Morning
